What does KRUBI mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tropical plant of the arum family, known for its large, strong-smelling flower spathe.
A krubi grows from an underground tuber and sends up a single towering flower spathe that can reach several feet across, drawing attention despite its unpleasant smell. The odor of a krubi serves the same purpose as a sweet scent does in other flowers, attracting the insects that pollinate it by mimicking the smell of rotting matter. Gardeners sometimes grow a krubi as a curiosity precisely because the flowering event is so rare and dramatic.
